SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2018 | 5A Spirituali-Tea to discuss teachings of Bahá’í Faith Anyone interested in discuss- ing diverse spiritual ideas in an atmosphere of respect and inquisitiveness are invited to join Spirituali-Tea, a group that meets each Monday beginning at 6:30 p.m., at 875 Seventh St. This week, Monday, Oct. 2, the group will discuss The Teachings of the Bahá’í Faith. Dr. I. Walter Tunick, Ed.D. will discuss his book “Spiritual Journey: The Bahá’í Faith.” The evening will be an effort by Walter to acquaint partici- pants with the message of the Bahá’í Faith, its history and its principles. Walter states that the deteri- orating moral conditions that are spreading globally have caused devastating gaps in so- cial behavior that endanger the well-being of all societies and nations. The growth of interest in moral and religious values has been stirring calls to action among the established religions. The Bahá’í Faith, claiming he- reditary connections with its older sister religions, offers rel- evant explanations for current world problems that do not con- flict with the earlier teachings. Individual thoughts and per- spectives are important to the group, so come prepared to dis- cuss and share. At the end of the gathering, the group will read all the prayer requests that have been left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Playhouse, 208 Laurel St. Always Something Happening 541.997.1994 | 888.968.4086 715 Q UINCE S TREET | F LORENCE , OR 97439 | WWW .

Unitarians hear about ‘backyard rain forests’ On Sunday, Oct. 21, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Florence Uni- tarian Universalist Fellowship, guest speaker Marcia Phillips will give an illustrated presenta- tion on “The Rain Forest in Our Own Backyard.” “Here on the Oregon coast we live in a rain forest. It is not the more famous tropical rain forest like that of the Amazon or Con- go, but a less well-known type of rain forest known as the coast- al temperate rain forest,” said Phillips. “Yet, like its sister in the tropics, it is one of the most important ecosystems in the world. Pound for pound, old- growth temperate rain forest absorbs more carbon and has a greater effect on the stability of climate that any other type of forest on Earth.” The fellowship, located at 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road, is wheelchair ac- cessible. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dia- logue circle to explore the ques- tions that come up during each worship service. For more information, visit www.florenceuuf.org. DUNES CITY from page 1A Meyer is the council presi- dent and has served a number of years on the council, includ- ing a stint as acting mayor, be- fore stepping down in 2007. In December 2013, Meyer was ap- pointed to fill a council vacan- cy and later was elected to the position. At the time of his return to Dunes City Council, Meyer said he had been watching the progress of the council for some time and was pleased with their ability to work well together. Snow is the most recent member of the Dunes City Council. She was appointed in December to fill the vacancy created when then-councilor Forsythe stepped into the role of mayor. Snow has lived in Dunes City full-time since 2016, but she has had family and real estate ties to the area in the past. She also had an extensive career with the U.S. Air Force. “I like to be involved with the city where I live,” Snow said during the Dec. 13 meeting where she was sworn in. “… I want to keep it a nice, friendly place that people are happy to live in, and that there’s no con- tention between residents or the cities around us.” Wells has also served a num- ber of terms on the Dunes City Council. A Siuslaw graduate, he served in the U.S. Air Force and later became a logger in the re- gion. He and his family run Old Cedar Tree Woodworking in Florence. In a newsletter from 2011, he wrote, “My goal on the Dunes City Council is very simple. It is to help protect the rights of the citizens and the rights of the property owners of Dunes City.” In 2012, he was instrumental in creating the Volunteer of the Year award for the city’s top vol- unteer. Each of these candidates will be on the Dunes City ballot, which Lane County mailed this week. The Dunes City Council meets the second Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. at Dunes City Hall, 82877 Spruce St. in Westlake. To view past meet- ings, visit dunescityhall.com/ video-minutes. Forsythe was appointed Dunes City mayor on Aug. 25, 2017, after the death of former mayor Rebecca Ruede. He first joined the city council in 2016 after running a write-in cam- paign. “A while back, Rebecca asked me to sit on Dunes City Coun- cil and I was honored to do so,” Forsythe said in 2017. “I tend to get involved everywhere I live, whether it be a homeowner association or city, mainly be- cause I found that if other peo- ple decide what is good for me, I want to at least have a voice in it.” He previously served as Port of Siuslaw port manager and is a veteran.
